Windows file path format for link in a Configure Block > Block Body
System Information:
-Windows Server 2012 Standard
-Drupal 7.4.1
-MySQL

But another part of that success would be typing out the file path using the correct structure.
Example:
file:///S:/IMD/APS/Ique_Project/06-Training/R2%20User%20Guides/Final_BPD...
